TOL1-diabetic group treated with 512 mg/kg olive leaf extract (OLE), TOL2-diabetic group treated with 768 mg/kg olive leaf extract (OLE), and TOL3-diabetic group treated with 1024 mg/kg olive leaf extract (OLE). # significantly different from the Control; * significant difference between the DM group and treated groups (TOL1, TOL2, TOL3). The difference was significant at p < 0.050.
